I was concerned about the flush draw, which is why I gave him 2.9 to 1 to call on the flop. I could have bet a little more to reduce his odds further, but also wanted my bet to look like a standard continuation bet. If he called and a blank fell on the turn, I would have bet a little more than 2/3 of the pot to ensure a flush draw was making an even bigger mistake in hanging around.

tjh, I agree that I probably am giving your average $5 player too much credit, but my experience on Poker Rewards is that when most people put in this kind of raise, they have the hand to back it up. Of course, there are still quite a few super LAGs, and this being hand #2, I didn't have a read, But more often than not (at least lately), I am seeing good hands shown down in these situations.
